Sauerkraut Salad

 

Sauerkraut Salad

 

 

Sauerkraut is a probiotic, and low in calories...

but not so much when you pair it up with Polish Sausage in your crockpot. 

So here is an alternative good for Cycle 1! 

 

*Actually...

Rinse the sauerkraut (to cut down on salt),

add a dollop of local honey, a bit of seasonings,

and use Turkey Kielbasa.

Cook on low in crockpot. 

1 cup of Sauerkraut and I link is only

140 calories...but NOT a Cycle 1 dinner (good for Cycle 3)

 

Sauerkraut Salad:

Ingredients:

1 (32oz) package of Sauerkraut

1 Cup diced Celery

1/2 Cup chopped onion

1/2 Cup chopped green or red pepper

6 packets Truvia (1 Cup sugar)

5 Tablespoons Olive oil (1/3 Cup cooking oil)

5 Tablespoons Vinegar

Herbs of Choice (oregano, pepper, parsley, celery seed, garlic...NO added salt)

Directions:

Rinse and drain Sauerkraut. Squeeze out excess moisture.  In a large bowl, combine the sauerkraut, celery, onion, and green/red pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, sweetener, and vinegar.  Add herbs of choice.  Add to the sauerkraut mixture and stir well.  Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).

1/2 cup = 52 calories, and counts as one probiotic serving for the day.

 

I also adjusted to make half a bag (and used the other half in the crockpot) 3 packets of Truvia, 2 Tbs oil, 2 Tbs vinegar, 1/4 cup onion and pepper, 1/2 cup celery.
